Nah, I think the games are easy enough that one can play through using exclusively Pokémon they like. I name and love my 'mon, and treat them like real little dudes, which is a big part of why I don't play competitively. You just need a little imagination, guys!

I won't lie that Sungaleo's signature move is seriously awesome looking! That said, I find it hilariously ironic and a bit sad that the lion who is supposed to, from the looks of things, be the embodiment of the hottest thing in the entire solar system is weak to fire, the very thing it embodies. And who thought giving it freaking clear body was a good idea?

And those typings, like, just wow. I thought Rowlet had a bad deal!

Region looks stunning though, like, I honestly don't give a single f*** about the rest of the things revealed, because they honestly matter that little compared to the splendour and brilliance of the region. I've wanted a Pokemon game that looks like this for so long, SO LONG! And it's finally here!

Surprised we haven't seen more Australian Pokémon actually. In fact, we could do we a region based around Oceania next time. Echidnas, kangaroos (the hideous Kangaskhan doesn't count), snakes, sharks, massive bug Pokémon...
